Thanks for the suggestions. I have done some reading on the raw diet. I will check out your suggested site too. I am very concerned that it contain all the proper nutrients. It is something I have been "tossing around" in my head. Some folks with kitties with epilepsy have also found that it makes a difference.
I was concerned with this too. IBD causes the intestines to not absorb nutrients. So, that was even more important for Micah. It comes with all the nutrients needed besides taurine which is added when you add the chicken livers. My vet looked at the ingredients and was surprised it was so complete. Just to make sure my Micah is indeed getting everything he needs, I mix in a vitamin/fatty acid powder: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...&N=2002+113393 that all the cats love (its liver flavored).

Like I said before, I'm amazed (as was my vet) at the difference in how Micah feels. When he's ill, he's lethargic and just sits quietly on the cat tree or the ground. When he's feeling better he's energetic, loving and happy. My vet comes to my home and saw Micah during a "sick time" and then after a few days on the raw and was floored.

Anyway, sorry to take over your thread. I'm just so pleased with the results that I hope other kitties can benefit as well.
